We NEED to keep talking about how celebrities are getting too thin. We need to talk about how that is not healthy, how it isnt and shouldn't be a beauty standard. We have to do it for Gen alpha growing up and for everyone else who lived through this once and recovered

Hello guys, we have received confirmation today that the school will be opened by the Ministry of Education upon completion, so I will focus only now on fundraising for that school, I will stop fundraising for my family and make it my first goal now because if we do not make progress, it may be closed due to lack of necessary resources

Please help!!

my mom’s trans allyship is on another level

she once called my friend’s deadname “that stupid thing his mom calls him”

praying for everyone Black in Belfast rn. hella Black ppl lost they homes as a result of this antiblack terrorism.

It's also like... Unless everyone over there is wearing shirts that say "Safe Catholic Irish" and "Bad UK Irish", there's no way a Black person is gonna know who is safe and who's not. So this idea that "it's not the real Irish" well then yeah the Real Irish need to stand up and get outside then because otherwise... You look just like the guy who burned my house down and I don't have time to give you a ten minute interview on your politics 🤷🏾‍♀️

maybe this is not my place to say because I am monolingual, and I'm sure it's part of a larger, more nuanced discussion about visibility and accessibility on the internet, but I think it'd be cool if people posted in their native languages more instead of in english. I see people do it way more on other platforms than on tumblr which is almost exclusively in english

just saw a video from ariana grande's recent concert that legitimately freaked me the fuck out

if i had three wishes they would all be to make web 2.0 utterly illegal and go back to normal html

how do we explain to children that all our tech briefly worked perfectly and over time we threw it all away for sleek menus and corporate opacity

"we could give you a link to this mp3 OR we could run it in a proprietary player app that must connect to the internet every time you hit the resume button"

when i upgraded from a flip phone to an iphone and realized i could no longer record and set a custom ringtone because apple wanted me to buy radio pop ringtones, i realized, oh cool new tech isnt made for us it's made to exploit us and we are going to let it happen

Before I have to sign an NDA: providing tech support for billionaires sucks exactly as much as you would imagine.

We don't work directly with many billionaires but the ones that we do are uniformly whiny pissbabies who throw tantrums about totally normal tech stuff and try wheedle their way into free services by threatening to fire us if we don't give them free shit.

The problem is that every whiny pissbaby billionaire is perfectly willing to whine to the board members of companies and nonprofits we *do* want to work with, so if you fire the whiny billionaire as a client or get fired by a whiny billionaire as a service provider, it can destroy your business.

This the same with massive multinational corporations. Business owners get excited at the chance to work with them and see a potentially lucrative customer. They demand so much extra special treatment and labor that working with them destroys every business, hemorrhaging money, cutting quality standards to meet absurd demands. They ultimately end up taking cheapest, lowest profit option and receive it a massive discount, and never return or generate any other business down the line. It's fascinating how they all seem to be the worst people to work with on all levels, but company owners blind themselves to the risk, repeatedly. You'll see people walking around hollow eyed and numb, and it's because you did like a one word logo design for an Amazon subsidiary or sold copper wiring to Microsoft or whatever, everyone worked 100 hour work weeks for a month and they paid two shiny nickels for it. And they will not send business your way either, no chance, unless it's like, you're a company specialized in corporate accounting and it's some dude who wants you to print a t-shirt idea he thinks will make a billion dollars.

My friend Nader recently became an uncle to his newborn baby niece, Masa. Due to the traumatic stress and malnutrition experienced under genocidal conditions, many mothers cannot produce breast-milk. Masa, like tens of thousands of other babies in Gaza, relies on formula to survive. Today, Nader told me that this little girl is in the hospital now due to a severe chest infection. She is only 8 days old. Please help her.

I woke up today to the tears of my brother's wife, the mother of little Masa, who is suffering from a severe chest infection and is currently in the hospital under medical care. We implore you, friends, to help us get out of this situation and donate to buy milk and other necessary baby supplies for this child so we can leave Gaza. Please don't hesitate to donate.

Nader's fundraising is vetted (gazavetters #4) and supports his large family of nine people, including small children of which little Masa is the youngest. Israel's systematic targeting of children means that the price of formula, diapers, medicine, and other basic supplies are extremely expensive. Please help him raise the funds needed to help innocent Masa survive genocidal conditions.

please donate if you can!
